Ireland celebrate as they cruised past Wales on the Six Nations’ opening weekend

A scintillating Ireland began their 2022 Six Nations campaign in perfect fashion, romping past Wales 29-7 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Centres Bundee Aki, Garry Ringrose, and wing Andrew Conway (two) scored Ireland’s tries, while skipper Sexton added three conversions and a penalty in a display of free-flowing attack from the hosts.

An injury-hit Wales provided meek resistance as they were completely outplayed, with centre Josh Adams sin-binned for a high tackle on Sexton and flanker Taine Basham scoring a late consolation.

The performance and victory will have delighted Ireland head coach Andy Farrell, as a full stadium was on hand to salute some outstanding play as the men in green picked up where they left off after an impressive autumn.
